The only party involved in this shitstorm that came out clean are the PyCon organizers. They did the right thing consistently, don't punish them by not attending.
So you're talking about a $5 (small) utility which will be in use in, say, 5 years from now? So you honestly expect to pay 5 bucks and have the vendor keep a server alive for your lifetime to activate it? We can generalize all we like, but for the app in question, I doubt presence (or the lack thereof) of activation servers in the distant future is a problem.
If it were for work, or if I had to do something on someone else's computer, sure, I'd need a few minutes to adapt then business as usual. But for my own laptop, which I use for myself, I kinda want it set up exactly the way I like it. It's the difference between a home and a hotel room.
Irrespective of whether you hit the like button, they know when you have visited that site. That is enough (it does show you hae in interest in the subject of the article in question).
What are you smoking? He just provided guidelines for using keys while running Linux. He didn't say UEFI is evil, he just doesn't want sign off the ability to boot Linux on UEFI+Secure Boot to some big company.
But when you see that Google intends Pixel+ChromeOS to be more than a toy. If Office, why not, say, GIMP or some audio/video editing software? *That* plus the 1TB-for-3-years - suddenly Pixel+ChromeOS makes a little bit more sense, though I still think its overpriced.
They then decide to store all of these things, because if doing any of A, B, C,... is legal, surely doing all of A, B, C,... has to be legal.
Reminds me of a French movie about euthanasia, in which the protagonist gets euthanized by having a ton of people do minor, innocent acts which cumulatively euthanize (murder) him. But isn't that argument incomplete in its specification? Doing any A is legal if B isn't done, B is legal if A isn't done, etc.? So doing both A and B is illegal...

By buying out the government.
I'd agree about the '1812 Overture'. It's difficult to get it to sound anything but crappy in common hardware/software combos.

What part of "only on new install" do you not understand?
I can stick to Win7 and things will be just as fine.

I thought it might have something to do with the Russian word for world - (pronounced mir, it seems, and spelled as such in the Time Odyssey series).
What about gender neutral ones like Shepard from Mass Effect or the Warden from Dragon Age?

Because they don't know any better.

Grandpa, why are you texting with one hand?
Look away ... and help me find the exclamation point!
There it is!

Blacklisting Cisco is being mooted as a possible punishment according to Ars.
NO, bro! It's sh in its pure form!
Chrome does the same thing too. And Firefox supports Flash where Chrome doesn't (on a Nexus 4). And finally: AdBlock+, and any number of addons FTW!
I find it intensely annoying too. But I ackowledge his right to write as he pleases. And that I'm under no compulsion to read it.
Ars Technica follows the non-traditional way, and personally, only nostalgia would be a reason to retain the original bio.
Oh, that moron? 10 minutes wasted checking the comments to see if TFA is worth reading..

Nope, shows the same time for me.
Have you never heard of gorilla glass? it's almost as good and a metric fuckton cheaper.
Emphasis mine. Going from 99.9% to 99.99% costs a metric fuckton less than going from 99.99% to 99.999%.
I would've thought that everyone agrees that the concept of gods exists.
For some definitions of god(s).
